I Have This Really Crazy Idea
While brushing my teeth tonight, I was thinking about how cool it would be if I featured a blog on my blog once in a while. The featured blog would basically have an interview of the blogger. I subscribe to 84 blogs via Google Reader, and I realized it would take me well over 3 months to get through all of the blogs even if I featured one per day. Seeing as how I’m constantly adding blogs, it would take me quite a while to get through all the blogs I read right now, let alone any blogs I find between now and then.
So I was wondering if people would even be interested. If you’re on my blogroll, you’d probably be a victim interviewed (assuming you agreed). Obviously, our book blogging community is fairly small, but I thought it would be fun. The questions would be a mixture of serious/fun. But I want to see if there’s any interest.
Please please please leave a comment if you think this would be interesting. If not, eh, no problem. It’s not like I don’t have plenty of books to read.

Sure, but it will have to wait until Mid-March.
Keep reading!

I’ve started featuring blogs on my blog, but not as interviews. I think it’d be a fun way to get to know everyone better!

Yep, but only if your questions don’t offend my intellectual sensibilities : )
It’s an excellent idea!

Sounds fun–i’m not above a little self-promotion.
Maybe you can ask me fun questions on this nifty book I’m about to read called “Scratch Beginnings” by Adam Shepard. Here’s a bit about it from amazon:
…in Scratch Beginnings, one man carrying only a sleeping bag, $25, and the clothes on his back, and restricted from using his contacts or his education sets out for a randomly selected city with one goal on his mind: work his way out of the realities of homelessness and into a life that will offer him the opportunity for success.
Scratch Beginnings is Shepard’s response to the now-famous books Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch, where Barbara Ehrenreich has written on the hopeless pursuit of the American Dream.
This book offers his observation of what it is like for so many people on the lower end of the spectrum, the blunt end of the stick. In this poignant account, Shepard goes on a search for the vitality of the American Dream, and, in turn, discovers so much more. Scratch Beginnings is unquestionably one of the most engaging works of the social science genre.

Oops…left a missing word ‘ask’ in between ‘don’t something’, sorry!

I’d be interested! When I first started my blog, I interviewed other bloggers about books they’d read, just asked them questions about a book they chose. I have no idea why I stopped! I should do it again, maybe in the summer when I have more time.

It sounds interesting. I’ve seen lots of blogs that interview authors, but never one that interviews other bloggers!

Hint: it wasn’t me!!

Hey, if my twin (Lisa) thinks it’s a good idea, then I’m in. (Lisa, I swear I’m not stalking you!)
Seriously, this is a great idea.

I think that’s a great idea! The interviews would be interesting and you would be doing a good deed by introducing one of your favorite bloggers to your readers.

What a fun idea! I’m game.
And really nosy! I’d love to know more about my fellow bloggers too.
